Issa Issues Statement as Border Patrol Prepares for Massive Surge of Illegal Immigrants

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-50) issued the following statement after the Biden Administration’s decision to lift Title 42, even though it is expected to result in a flood of additional illegal immigrants and burdening already overwhelmed border patrol personnel.

“This is a reckless decision by an Administration that from its first day opened our southern borders, demoralized our front line border patrol, and allowed in unprecedented human trafficking and fentanyl supply,” said Issa. "Despite the President’s empty promise at his State of the Union address to secure the border, Biden’s border crisis will only continue. That’s why a new Congress next year is an imperative.”
